ReadyNAS Ultra 4 HD choice
Hi all, I am having a difficult time making the best choice for hard drives to accompany a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 system. As I am located in regional Australia hard drive choices are limited, and I have ...
I have an NV+ which is running the older WD20EARS without any problems,and a new PRO 6 which has one of the EARX 3 TB drives (couldn't find the older model). Both are working fine. "Green" drives have more than enough performance to stream 1080p MKV and BluRay (full BlueRay requires about 7 MB/second, you will get much higher speeds with the Ultra). You might be limited by your network, esp. if you use powerline or WifI. But not the disk drives.
There are a couple of low-level settings that some people change on WD green drives. I'm not making a recommendation (one way or another), just calling it to your attention. If you search the forum you'll find more information on this.
